For years my focus on leadership development & growth was centered around the idea of attracting & influencing followers. I think most leaders believe the pinnacle of successful leadership is having a dedicated and devoted team of followers who look t

Leadership demands an inquisitive mindset; we must be curious if we are going to be leaders. Leadership growth is stimulated by asking "Why?". - Many people will never ask why enough in their lifetime; they feel that it is not their place or obligati.

Time management is a true oxymoron; none of us can truly manage time. Time continues whether we attempt to manage it or not. Time comes at us in the same exact increments no matter how fast you think, act, or plan.

The best way to crush mediocrity in our personal & professional lives is having the ability & courage to make sound and timely decisions. - To make sound decisions you certainly know your mission, what you're capable of doing to accomplish it,

In 1920 there was a major change of attitude in the officer Corps with the U.S. Marines. - General John Lejeune, the Commandant of the Marine Corps at the time, wrote the following on the heels of World War I:

One requirement of leadership is to "know yourself & seek self-improvement". To understand your true potential you must get comfortable and be honest with the person you see in the mirror. - Click here to subscribe to my mailing list & receive my fre.

I absolutely hate mediocrity; I cannot stand the idea of settling and not stretching to our full potential. I think as leaders we are obligated to shoot for better than average or mediocre. Creating an environment of initiative, assertiveness,

When I look back and replay the tape on some of my leadership failures, the failures often stemmed from me taking my eye off of the simple and obvious. The times I have failed as a leader were those times I was focused on myself. -

Personal Growth is not a natural process in most people’s lives. - In this podcast I discuss how being intentional is the first step in your personal & leadership growth; and I highlight John Maxwell's "Growth Gap Traps": -

Confidence is a cornerstone of authentic leadership; it's also at the "core" of a natural charismatic leadership style. - Intuitively we all know that we need to be confident to be leaders; we naturally follow and are drawn to confident leaders. -

One of the greatest leadership challenges is the actual act of leading ourselves. - Some things to consider/some brutal facts to face when we deal with self-leadership: Activity does not necessarily equal accomplishment.

When I think of the concept of courage I’m often drawn towards those larger than life, uncommon examples of valor that are held in reverence and awe. - For example, Medal of Honor recipient Sgt John Basilone on Guadalcanal repelling 3,

One of the best resources on leadership I've found. I was promoted to department head recently and have found these podcasts to be extremely useful. They are inspirational without being esoteric--there is REAL and useful information.

It helps that the author seems genuine and speaking from his own experiences. He's also not afraid to talk about his past failures and shortcomings, which we can all relate to I'm sure.
